I kept waiting for Klitschko-Lewis to get close....

That cut is bad, but it is not eye threatening. You get carried away with all the blood I guess. He was fine to continue. He had visibility in both eyes, unlike say Margarito when Pac was over with him.

Faqqot doctor stoppage, probably fixed too.

That's not even the point though bruh. The stoppage is irrelevant to the fight not being competitive. That was not a great performance by Lewis. Emanuel Stewards advice was "let him keep winning all these rounds, he's getting tired."

It's almost laughable.

It was 4-2 and pretty much dead even with Lennox coming on at the moment it was stopped

Maybe you are the victim of other posters growing tired of vitali, manny and matthysse fans tendencies to discuss performance rather than outcomes because the guy they like lost. These people give more credit to the loser than the winner-which I think you can admit is problematic.

As for credit, I can only give you an example from my past. I was a kid and watched Mike Weaver KO john tate in the 15th round. Tate won 13 of the 1st 14 rounds. When guys discussed this fight (well before the NSB days) no one ever mentioned how well tate did, just that weaver found a way to win. SO yes, its not until I got to NSB that the phenomenon of "giving the winner less credit than the loser" and talking about performance over outcome became a reality.

Again, you may not be doing this and it could be falsely interpreted.

If I am doing it, it's only because Vitali was schooling Lewis for the better part if six rounds, and I have the capacity to look past who got the W on paper. I can't help that I am able to look past a "W" and have a brain that works a little more technically than what you may be used to dealing with.

There's nothing wrong with discussing what transpired before you got to the end result. Especially in a sport like boxing, where each round is scored individually.

If we all sat and did a round by round together we'd all be talking about how Vitali is kicking Lewis' ass all over the ring before the fight is abruptly stopped.

Would it ultimately matter? No. But it still hapoened.

Meh, Lewis was losing on points at the stoppage which everyone will admit, no one knows if he was about to turn it around. Unfortunately stopped on cuts, and rotund Lewis was fighting past his prime.

So the only thing a rematch would've done is officially passed the torch on to a younger fighter, if he did fight him again and lost, people would've said Lewis was shot anyways.

I'll give you that vitali put up a great fight, but quit with the 'schooling Lewis' nonsense.

Last thing I'm gonna say about it.

I heard it was competitive, I watched it and expected it to be compeyitive.

I waited for it to get competitive and it got stopped with Klitschko up 5-1.

That's all I saw.

Or perhaps we'd be discussing how Vitali's eye was getting progressively worse and if he doesn't end the fight quick he will lose by stoppage.

your brain isn't so much technical regarding this subject as it is pyrrhic.

If that's all you saw then you should probably switch to golf or something ... cause you sure as hell don't know boxing.

[Weltschmerz]

Lennox probably shouldn't have promised Larry at ringside that he would give the rematch. Guess Lennox mommy told him not to fight Vitali ever again.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

All I know is that vitali showed an atg chin by eating that Lewis uppercut.. That was one of the best shots Lewis has ever landed, and vitali walked through it.. That was impressive and I think McCall is about the only dude that could do that
